Not yet configurable, but a first run through the code of where changes would be needed to move to more than one statistic. At a first glance, the table doesn't look that bad. At least me, I always look at more than one statistic (I believe I started that back when I discovered the possibility to create "describe" stats with R when starting to look at series of numbers). The question here is which stats exactly to look at. As for the state of the change:

In the latest commit I replaced references to averages where in reality they already are a combination of median, average, 90th percentile. |
This commit switches code for computing averages to using numpy. This is a first step towards supporting more than one statistic for summarizing lists of times for state change of issues. Averages are easy to compute but sensitive to outliers. In particular when thinking of SLAs for times for first responses it is often more helpful to look at median, quartiles or even 90th percentile.
Currently we are only looking at averages. This adds median and 90th percentile to issues stats. Those are much less sensitive to outliers. (Think issue cleanup sessions where very old issues get closed out but then dominate the issue stats at the end of the month).

In previous commits pure averages were replace by a dict of avg, median, 90th percentile. This makes that switch visible in docs, method names, variable names.
